Version is retrieved dynamically from the package after it is built by setup.py. This allows users to access the version of Pynite they have installed without @JWock82 having to manually update the version number in
__init__.py
whenever a new release is made.Closes #273
In the long-term, I recommend moving away from setup.py to pyproject.toml where the version and description of the package can be dynamically retrieved from the
__init__.py
file (making the__init__.py
file the source of truth and the package being built according to those values).However, this is a quick fix that will allow users to easily check their Pynite version to aid in the diagnosis of potential incorrect values.
